The Center

It used to be that the earth was thought to be flat.

It used to be that the sun revolved around the earth.

It used to be that we all thought the world revolved around us.

And then people who were able to think outside the box hypothesized that the earth was spherical in shape. Others determined that the earth actually orbits the sun. And we grew up and realized we are not the center of the universe.

Except, there are still people who believe the earth is flat, the sun rotates around the earth, and yes, there are adults who still act like they are the center of the universe.

It takes knowledge and maturity to realize that we are not the center of the universe.

I wonder how many times God looks at me, or hears my prayers, and wonders: “This isn’t about you, I am the center of everything, not you.”
